Tuna From Illwaco Anyone?

LT · 08-18-2006, 02:36 PM

I am planning on chasing some Tuna next Thursday, Friday or Saturday out of Illwaco conditions permitting. Anyone interested in buddy boating? We could meet boats at Buoy 10 departing from Hammond also.... PM me if interested.

We too are trying to make next Saturday a go.... our check list is down to the weather gods cooperating

. Our boat is moored in Ilwaco on the P dock. We'll confirm some details when it gets closer and the day can be called.

Depending on conditions we'll be running out of Ilwaco on Friday or Saturday.

8knots,
Are you moored at Illwaco? If so, where and what boat? I will be down moored for a week starting the 23rd doing the salmon/tuna dance.

LT, H dock, 25' Boston Whaler with green canvas. I'll be around or out if the weather works.

Brian penfield · 08-22-2006, 08:01 PM

will be down saturday till after labor day looking to go out weather permitting.

Anthony1013 · 08-23-2006, 10:23 AM

We stil plan to run on Saturday. We'll be in a 28' Albin, blue hull, white pilot house on P dock (slip 59 I believe).
Couple questions:
1. What channel on the VHF will everyone out of the CR be using?
2. What time is everyone departing? Meet at Buoy 10?
3. Best guest on where the Tuna water will be?

Heading down to Ilwaco on Friday afternoon to load up with fuel and gear. Can't wait!!!

Looks like it'll be pretty bumpy this weekend. Put yer dancing shoes on. About 4 knots of ebb tide at daylight (6) on Saturday on top of that. More N wind too, that isn't going to help the water situation at all. Looks like I might be fishing for red meat and flatfish Labor Day but we'll have to see what develops.
